"Ben-Hur" is a movie about Christ. The film begins with the birth of Jesus and ends with the crucifixion, interspersed with the experiences of Jesus' life and ministry. Ben Hur was a righteous man, but he was treated unfairly and almost lost his life. Jesus was even more sinless, but was crucified on the cross. When we feel sympathy for Ben-Hur's suffering, we can appreciate the suffering of Jesus even more. Ben Hur became the adopted son of the consul and possessed all the glory in the world, but the huge hatred made him give up everything and return to Judah. When the revenge was successful, there was endless emptiness. When he learned that his mother and sister were still alive and contracted leprosy It is endless despair, and those who lose love for revenge are endless regrets. This is what the movie tells us: relying on our own efforts to deal with problems in a violent way, we gain more than we lose. Finally, when Ben-Hur wanted to hear Jesus preach, he found that he was about to be crucified. When Jesus was crucified, his loved ones were healed of their sickness, and more importantly, he understood forgiveness through the sacrificial love of Jesus. So he went home and said to his lover: The sword in his heart was melted away. And he did not know at the time that his relatives had been healed. There are many movies with happy endings, but Ben-Hur's ending offers the ultimate solution to all the problems in the world - trust in Jesus.
The greatness of "Ben Hur" is that it is a thoroughly religious film. The director uses superb skills, through the way of the film, with the help of the actors' performances, to understand the love of Jesus with the feelings that everyone can experience. From the perspective of movies, there will be movies that surpass him in the future, but from the perspective of thought and connotation, he is the only one, and he is the greatest.
If you are not a Christian, you cannot appreciate the greatness within. If you are not an antichrist, after watching this movie, you will understand and feel the love of Christ. Even if you are an antichrist, after watching this movie, you cannot deny the power and love of Christ .
